Temperate Grasslands
Temperate Grasslands are a division of a larger biome grouping of grasslands that includes tropical savannas. Both biome types are characterized by a dominace of grasses, yet temperate grasslands differ signifincatly from savannas. First unlike savannas that can have trees and shrubs scattered throughout, temperate grasslands have trees and shrubs absent. Temperate grasslands are also found in less tropical ecosystems and thus have a larger temperate flucation during the year. Temperatures in temperate grasslands can vary tremendously which has a large impact on growing seasons. Generally they also have less rainfall. Temperate grasslands are found throughout the globe, generally in the interiors of the continents and north or south of the topic of cancer/copercorn.
Living and Non-living Things
The living things in the temperate grasslands are animals such as; buffalo, caribou, prairie dogs, lynx, plants, and etc. The non-living things are; rocks, trees (even though there are barley any), and the grass.
Climate
The climate in the temperate grasslands is sometimes cold, sometimes hot, and maybe cool, or warm out. In the temperate grasslands there are diiferent climates everyday depending on the seasons' of course... and what month it is.
Location
Where are the temperate grasslands located??? They are located in the middle of North America, the bottom of South America, they are scattered in Asia, in the north, east corner of Australia, and all over Africa.
Map
Thisis a map of the world. This map shows where the temperate grasslands are located, and it kinda shows you or tells you in a way what types of animals live in each grassland.
Carnations
Carnations are a type of flower that do live in the temperate grasslands. It is easy for the flowers to live in garsslands because they do get rain(once in a while), and the get plenty of sunlight.
Black-tailed Prairie Dogs
It is a ground squirrel with a black swatch of fur at the tip of its tail. It weighs between 1 and 3 pounds and grows between 14 and 17 inches long. Its burrows create soil rehabilitation and water filtration systems. It is also important for its role as primary prey for many other species in the Great Plains. Its population is dwindling, negatively effecting many other species' food supplies.
